Mort Kunstler said about painting this moving piece: I can only imagine what words were said by a wife or sweetheart like this Southern woman before lifting the blade to her lips - and what emotions touched the hearts of the loved ones who were present. To me, these tender farewell moments reflected our people's devotion to both family and duty - and were so American.
